Full-stack engineer, 15+ years. Currently wrapping up a contract at Xero building the external API gateway for their financial analytics platform. Before that I built and shipped ReframeHQ solo, an AI product-photo app for Shopify merchants, still live. Modal GPU inference pipeline, background workers, automatic credit refunds on failed jobs, zero-downtime deploys on Dokku. One person running a GPU pipeline in production.
I write detailed, honest build logs of my AI/systems experiments, measured results, not hype (e.g. building a recommender in pure Postgres and watching the embeddings lose to ORDER BY count(*)): https://www.pedroalonso.net

Senior backend engineer available for contract, fractional, contract-to-hire, or full-time opportunities. I have 30+ years of experience building and operating production systems across startups, SaaS, media, financial services, telecom, and public safety domains. I've worked in both early-stage and growth-stage companies and enjoy owning systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation through deployment and operations. For the past 13 years I've focused primarily on Ruby on Rails backend platforms, APIs, PostgreSQL, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), and production reliability. My experience includes backend architecture, distributed systems, database performance tuning, cloud migrations, DevOps ownership, and operating customer-facing systems in production. I enjoy helping teams solve scaling, reliability, modernization, and operational challenges. Particularly interested in backend, platform, infrastructure, and data-intensive systems, though I'm comfortable contributing across the stack when needed. Available to help with Rails modernization, production reliability, cloud migrations, PostgreSQL performance tuning, backend platform development, and API-heavy applications.

Past year - launched multi platform walkie-talkie like system, rust backend + shared lib, native clients for ios/android, slintui for desktop - https://ioxsoft.net/ioxcom - now working on bonding solution to send video/data stream over multiple paths Other small tools at https://ioxsoft.net + https://smmx.dev
Previous career - 15 years leading+programming+CTO+mentoring different kind of projects, mostly for one of the top10 international sport federation - small presentation sites, automated deployments to cloud, realtime competition data+video on web, SSO + subscriptions for Live+VOD, custom video pipelines to encode+store+deliver 50000 contest video, global remote commentary in-cloud system with own vmix for events, networked video archive+replay system, travelled around part of team to support Live sports events
I am not good to make some advance algorithms (coding questions) as I was not 100% software developer, but I listened to peoples needs and coded for past 20 years to solve/improve problems.
Seeking project/freelance work where I can use knowledge to get you started.
Remote: Yes. Experienced with US / UK clients; open to timezone overlap.
Willing to relocate: No, occasional travel OK.

Résumé/CV: Available upon request
Email: gbrits<at>gmail<dot>com
Hands-on CTO / principal engineer with 20+ years in software engineering. Technical co-founder, CTO/CPO, architect, fractional product owner, and engineering lead.
I work best at the intersection of architecture and implementation: designing data-heavy systems well, then staying close enough to the engineering to keep latency, operability, failure modes, and tradeoffs grounded in reality.
Selected work: fractional lead/architect for ground-up KPI platform rewrite; 5-person FTE team; company later exited for €10M. CTO/CPO for crypto/data product; live matching of 1M+ complex dynamic slices against continuous on-chain/off-chain metric streams; high-throughput, near-real-time latency suitable for trading workflows. ClickHouse-backed worker pipelines processing billions of rows/day while preserving near-real-time downstream availability.
Looking for freelance, contract, fractional CTO, principal engineer, technical lead, or data engineering work.
Best fit: backend-heavy products, analytics/data infrastructure, complex internal tools, low-latency pipelines, or early-stage teams that need one senior person with both breadth and depth.
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Not now / for the right opportunity

Email: lucasarruda - gmail
Staff Engineer / Lead Architect with 15+ years of experience specializing in high-stakes infrastructure, system overhauls, and early product velocity. I partner with tech leaders and founders as an embedded, hands-on technical consultant (15–30h/week) to bridge the gap between initial demos and enterprise-ready systems.
What I specialize in tackling:
- Applied AI & Automation: Integrating AI engines for practical backend workloads, including image classification pipelines, automated log processing, and embedding security scanners into CI/CD workflows to catch and patch vulnerabilities early.
- HealthTech & Diagnostics: Architected platforms integrating complex clinical diagnostic engines, lab systems, and data pipelines with ironclad compliance, deep telemetry, and strict authorization layers.
- Scale & Telemetry: Re-engineered legacy backends, database schemas, and standalone telemetry engines to smoothly process heavy, live data flows and scale to millions of users.
- High-Velocity E-Commerce: Built complex payment gateways, transactional networks, and checkout pipelines designed to handle high-stakes flows cleanly without failure.
- Technical Leadership & Mentoring: Led, unblocked, and upskilled engineering teams to level up implementation paths, accelerate prototyping velocity, and establish sound architectural blueprints.
Looking for direct engagements with founders, VPs of Engineering, or CTOs needing an autonomous technical leader to own core infrastructure paths without executive overhead. Direct client engagements only; no third-party placement agencies.

Hi, I'm Branko. I am looking for a position in a small team where I can wear multiple hats: building features, handling support tickets, writing documentation, SEO.
I have an engineering degree in Geodesy/GIS and 5+ years of customer support experience. I've developed products like a text analysis tool, a fishing logbook app, and an app for easing certain customer support tasks (links on website).
If you need someone who is just as comfortable handling support and documentation as they are writing code, I'd love to chat.
Remote: Yes (preferred) or Hybrid (from Paris)
